232 Notes

Is this
whisky overrated and overhyped? Definitely not! Lagavulin 16 is an outstanding
Single Malt from Islay and a cornerstone of Scotch whisky culture. Intense peat
smoke with hints of iodine and seaweed dominates the nose, merging with soft
and yet substantial sherry cask sweetness. On the palate, it tastes
full-bodied, peppery and deliciously sweet with dried fruits and an
overwhelming blast of dry peatiness. The finish is prolonged, warming and
spicy. A superb malt that would be even better with 46% ABV, no chill filtering
and natural color.
